Default Double Yellow - Rant

I went for a ride on the Ortega highway Thursday morning since the neighbor woke me up at 5:30AM with their damned kids.

I rode up to the Lookout, rested a bit and turned for home.

Coming to a blind left (arn't they all down there?), I started on the far right of my lane and dropped into the corner on a high line. Low and behold, some mother ****** on an R1 comes around a car in my lane. Four of the five bikes in his group were on my side of the double yellow heading into a blind turn passing cars.

Public roads are no place for a race. Ride your own ride and mind the damned lines.

Idiot riders is why I stay away from Ortega. You could be doing everything right, but the dumbass who thinks it's a personal trackday will muck it up for the rest of us.

You should have jumped off the bike and let him and the other bikers behind him hit your bike head on. That would've taught them a lesson!

Sounds like an idiot that I've ridden with before.

next time an R1 wants to joust with you, employ the take down technique... as you ride by, either while over taking or while passing in opposite directions, you catch the end of his handle bar with your outstretched leg(your aim is of the upmost importance). as he's tumbling on the pavement in your rearview miror, you can then use golf clap as you ride of into the distance



j/k... sort of
